REMANUFACTURING PROCESS
Engine Blocks
-
Each cast iron block is magnafluxed for cracks and checked for any visible damage to the block or threaded holes before being repainted to the original color.
-
Five CNC machining centers that are programmed to precise specifications that meet or exceed those established by the OEM for each engine block.
-
After the engine block is bored, decked, and chamfered, each cylinder is honed with the specified cross-hatch pattern. Quality audits are performed to ensure that the cylinder size and finish meets specifications. 100% new pistons, rings and bearings are installed in every engine.
Cylinder Heads
-
Every head is resurfaced and completely inspected for any visible damage or cracks.
-
Valve seats are machined, inspected and replaced, if necessary.
-
Valve guides are inspected with an air gauge and replaced if necessary.
-
The cam bore is checked on overhead cam engines and machined if required.
-
Only new valves, seals and lifters are used in every head.
-
All plugs and fittings are replaced with new pieces to protect against possible coolant leaks.
Connecting Rods
-
Each connecting rod is measured against OEM specifications for bend, twist, and center-to-center length before use.
-
The piston pin bore and bearing bore are measured with air gauges for proper dimensions.
-
New torque to yield rod bolts and nuts are installed.
Crankshafts
-
Crankshafts are machined on a fully automated Jucrank CNC crank grinder. This enables us to maintain consistency and critical tolerances for each journal.
-
All oil galley holes are chamfered and brushed after machining and the crankshaft is given a final wash to ensure cleanliness.
-
Each crank is inspected for cracks, bow and all applicable run-out specs for rod and main journals.
